Almost Persuaded
P. P. Bliss (1871) • English
Primary Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20
Verse 1
“Almost persuaded” now to believe; “Almost persuaded” Christ to receive; Seems now some soul to say, “Go, Spirit, go Thy way; Some more convenient day On Thee I’ll call.”
Verse 2
“Almost persuaded,” come, come today; “Almost persuaded,” turn not away; Jesus invites you here, Angels are lingering near, Prayers rise from hearts so dear; O wanderer, come.
Verse 3
“Almost persuaded,” harvest is past! “Almost persuaded” doom comes at last! “Almost” cannot avail; “Almost” is but to fail! Sad, sad, that bitter wail, “Almost,” but lost!
